Is there anyone that can walk me through opening a port on my computer. I'm using Azerues and it says the port is closed. I know very little about computers. I went to portforwarding.com and followed the directions and it had me start a static ip address which didn't work- it just stopped my browser from working so I returned it to the default settings. I don't know how to get the port open. Everyone makes it sound so easy- just forward it but I don't know what that means lol I have an acer desktop with XP. Can some1 help please??

We here at GeeksToGo will not assist you with issues relating to P2P file sharing programs. While many of these programs are-in-and of themselve legal, most things aquired by their use are not. Instead of attempting to differentiate between the legal use of P2P programs and the illegal use thereof, we have decided to stop helping with issues regarding this software. It is also in your best interest to know that many P2P software packages come bundled with spyware/malware/virii and that their use greatly increases the chances of your computer becoming infected. I strongly suggest that you uninstall these programs and refrain from using them at all costs.
